DJ DIE SOON is the moniker of Daisuke Imamura – a Japanese musician, DJ, illustrator, and manga artist based in Berlin. Emerging from the underground hip-hop scene, DJ DIE SOON conjures dystopian freak-beats that stalk through desolate, post-apocalyptic soundscapes. He describes his sound as ‘Horror Music on Rice’ – hard, distorted, feverish visions chopped and processed through an SP-404 sampler. Driven by a fascination with dark and gritty aesthetics, Imamura has built a singular artistic universe populated by demon masks, manga figures, and motifs drawn from Japanese culture. His drawing and musical practices continuously feed into one another, materialising as live performances, albums, exhibitions, and publications.
